VALLEY CHURCH STUDENT MINISTRIES
Valley Church Student
Ministries (VCSM) is composed of 9th-12th graders from a dozen schools in central Iowa. We
believe high school students are best served by worshiping regularly, being a
part of a discipleship small group, and by serving others. VCSM heavily
emphasizes two critical relationships to aid students in their spiritual
formation. One is peer-to-peer. We recognize that the main influence in
students’ lives is their friends - therefore we seek to connect Christian
students with each other. However, we also believe students need to be poured
into through godly adult leaders. Praise the Lord, over twenty men and women
serve weekly by leading our Pledge small group ministry.
Our mission of "Build Disciples Who Make Disciples" is the foundation of all we do. VCSM does not exist to make morally sound kids. Rather we exist to groom Christ-followers who set moral boundaries that will last beyond their years at home.
VCSM is also a
parent-friendly ministry. We operate out of a system we call Orange, which
signifies the family and the church working hand in hand. Ultimately VCSM
intends to support parents as the main spiritual influencer in a student’s life. We encourage parent participation through service, periodic parent/staff gatherings, and open communication.
We look forward to
meeting and serving you and your family in Valley Church Student Ministries.
